名称

        whereis - 定位一个“命令”的二进制文件、源文件、手册文件。

用法

        whereis [options] [-BMS directory... -f] name...

描述

        whereis 定位一个指定“命令”的二进制文件、源文件、手册文件的位置。提供的名称首            先去除前导路径名组件和任何（单个）尾随 .ext 扩展名（例如：.c）。使用源代码控制          产生的前缀 "s." 也得到处理。然后 whereis 尝试在标准 Linux 位置以及 $PATH 和                  $MANPATH 指定的位置中定位所需的程序。

选项

        -b        只搜索二进制文件。

        -m       只搜索手册文件。

        -s        只搜索源文件。

        -u        只展示有特殊条目的命令名称。如果一个命令对于每个明确请求的类型不只有                       一个条目，则称该命令是不寻常的。因此 "whereis -m -u *" 请求在当前目录中                       没有文档文件或有多个文档文件的文件。

        -B list  使用空格分隔的目录列表限制查找二进制文件的范围。

        -M list 使用空格分隔的目录列表限制查找手册文件的范围。

        -S list  使用空格分隔的目录列表限制查找源文件的范围。

        -f         终止目录列表并表示文件名的开始。

        -l         输出 whereis 使用的有效查找路径的列表。 当指定非 -B、-M 或 -S 时，该选项                     将输出该命令能够在系统上找到的硬编码路径。

使用示例：

1. whereis：展示二进制文件、源文件、手册文件的位置。

[root@server bin]# whereis ls
ls: /usr/bin/ls /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz

2. whereis -b/m/s：只展示其中一项。

[root@server bin]# whereis -b ls
ls: /usr/bin/ls
[root@server bin]# whereis -m ls
ls: /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
[root@server bin]# whereis -s ls
ls:[root@server bin]#

3. whereis -B/M/S：限定查找目录，必须使用 -f ，否则 whereis 会把命令名当成目录

[root@server bin]# whereis -s -S /usr/src -f ls
ls:[root@server bin]# whereis -m -M /usr/share/man/man1 -f ls
ls: /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
[root@server bin]# whereis -b -B /usr/bin -f ls
ls: /usr/bin/ls

4. whereis -u：限定特殊命令。

[root@server bin]# whereis -u -ms -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src -f *
